ASHEVILLE — Moogfest has just announced that electronic superstar band Devo has been added to its debut musical celebration Oct. 29-31 in Asheville.

Also announced this morning were the groups the Disco Biscuits, Ikonika, Bonobo, Van Dyke Parks, and Clare and The Reasons. The addition of Devo to the festival makes this one of the hottest tickets of the year. Tickets for Moogfest go on sale at noon.

Devo, which recently reunited after a several year-long hiatus, has never before played Asheville. Its presence at Moogfest had been the subject of much speculation. The group is best known for the 1980s hit “Whip It.”

Moogfest tickets are available both through Ticketmaster and at the Civic Center box office. Festival performances are scheduled at the Civic Center arena, Thomas Wolfe Auditorium and the Orange Peel.
